No matter what this year has thrown at us, 826DC has remained as vital as ever to the Columbia Heights community—helping young writers to hone their voices, to share what matters to them, and to get ready to take on whatever life throws at them next.
We’re keeping students inspired and writing from home. We’re supporting their teachers with creative, engaging, and virtual-ready writing curricula. We’re sharing lessons on our YouTube channel. We’re offering digital experiences like ReWrite the Stars, our recent summer space camp writing intensive, and so much more.
As we move into the new school year, many readers have asked how you can help support students and teachers in this community. Here’s your chance!
Join 826DC for their 10 Year Anniversary (Virtual) Homecoming fundraiser to support 826DC’s work. Hear from their luminary speakers, learn about their honorees, and have a good time! Tickets to attend the virtual celebration are free, but donations are strongly encouraged.
